All these are found equal to the ordinary demands upon them, but with the extraordiuary ones made upon them fromthe recent cold has resulteda most unexpected amount of trouble. Primarily, tbe pumver of dres following upon over-neated pipes: nas been very great. Fortu- ately the great majority of these have been discovered in time to suppress them before any great damage was done, though it is easy to conceive how a great and disastrous con- flagration might have resulted from them. In many of :he places of business down town, owing to a defective method o! putting tp the steam pipes, tae water became frozen in them during the nigat, rendering them useless for the succeed- ipg day, and afforaing a rich harvest to tne plombers, who are at present employing all their available forces night and day, Oue of tne more prominent of these stated to @ HERALD reporter yesterday that he had 200 men at work, and that he wus compelled to refuse constant application made to him for plumbing work which he Was un- apie toexecute. in some oF tue hotels and boara- Ing houses the Jurnaces have proved 1uadequate to Warmiug ‘he rooms, and colds, influenza and other similar complaints peculiar to the seuson are afiecting a lair proportion of the popuiatiov.

Tne exciting adventures which these worthy people have gone through during the preseat winter would be enough to fil! books of travel, aud UnGer such circumstances tt may be imagined that the condition of the atmosphere and the state of the water were matters of as much Import to them as thetr breakfasis and cin- hers, and are regarded with an interest which the citizen of Manhattan Isiand, conscious of his safety | on terra jrma, can but dimly comprehend. There was nothing yesterday morning to cause | any Unusual perturbation to the miserable Brook- | lymite. What we are pleased to cal! the East River was, to be sure, full of ice—nothing but snow and tce as far as the eye could reach, with | bere and there only a giimmer of water—but the ice was of the smali stuf which the ferryboats bravely tackle without fear of stoppage. It was only bere and there, mainly im the channel, that | one could see anything Like large cakes and flelds, and of nese very few existed. This was all, no | doubt, the same ice which has been washing to and fro up and down the East River’ for the | past few days, and which (rom big cakes, which It | originally was, has gradually been pulverized until | it became no more a danger to navigation. At each slip yesterday morning the ferryboats, as if crowing at their victory over nature, would even #0 Out of their way to tackle these big cakes and | destroy tuem still further, As the tide went up | the river there seemed no end to the quantity of this small ice, which came up from the bay, and it continued to move upat arapid speed, wheeling | around the turn at the Nuvy Yard on lits way up to dell Gate. All this | mass of white remained stationary about noon, and shortly after began moving down again on the way tothe bay. The ebb tide, accompanied by this mass of ice, began to make matters un- pleasant again, and perceptibly checked the speed in crossing over. At all times the edd tlde 13 so strong that it 1s a matter of no great ease to cross the river witpout making a great detour; but when to the usual velocity of the tide is added the weight of such @ mass of ice the passage becomes avery diMcult one.

Now that extra ferryboats are more than ever needed on a line where so many thousands crossed daily, one of the f our has been withdrawn because the leit siip on the Brooklyn side is suddenly found to be too shallow.

At eight o’clock yesterday morning an event occurred, unprecedented for nearly iorty years. The North River was compiately uridged by ice, and fully 200 persoas crossed irom shore to shore, Many ‘of them returping. menced to form at Fourteenth street about one A. M., and oy eight o'clock a large number of persons baa congregated in the neighbornood of sight tour adventurous tndividuals walking across the Hudson River dry snod. These adven- turers. unmiudiul of the sad experience oi their East River brethren, boldly kept on their periious way until the Jersey shore was reached. Remain- ing there @ few minutes to rest, they started on their retura trip, aud saiely gaimed (he New York side amid the plaudits o1 a large crowd that had collected to witness their perilous teat En couraged by their example a number of other per- Suns followed; out most of them lost heart when vhey arrived pear the middie of the river und peony, returued to the shore irom which they ad start A iew boys, some of whom had skates, next started, and three or four managed | to reach the other side, while the rematoder amused themselves ag they could by siding aud ating upon the smooth ice tn the centre of the stream.

No casualties occurred, and, in Jact, it would have been safe to have driven across the “bridge”? during Its short duration. Above Twenty-sixth street there was very litle crossing, a3 the ice Was not cousidered saie.

Below Teatn street the river presented a very Picturesque appearance. Huge masses of floating ice were sailing gracefully out with the tide, with the fragments piled one upon another until isiands of re-pectavie altitude were formed. in some instances mimiature copies of Arctic bergs were exposed, and 1t only needed a white bear or walrus to make the fliusion coin- ete, For the last two days heaviiv loaded teams ave been crossing irom Sing Slug to Haverstraw, @ distance of tive miles, and altogether such an icy condition of affairs bas not been Known for years.

A scene such as yesterday's may not be again presented to tue present gen- eration. LAST NIGHT, The ice up to about ten o’clock did not seriously impede the progress ol toe ferryvoats on the dii- serent ferries 01 the East River; but alter that hour, whem the tide began to come in, the !ce came with it, and great aiificuity was experienced by the pliots to saiely land their crait. ld river men gave it as their experience that such an ice flow had not been witnessed or the river for many years; but notwithstanding | this fact there have been Jewer accidents tuan any year past. None of the ferryboats have been badiy damaged, although they have had to con- teud with some of the largest cakes of Ice that have been seen in the narvor for years; and even the | littie tugs, that look as if a good-sized snowball would upset them, nave stood the test and come out aimost unscathed. ‘The only accident reported last night was that of two men, who attempted to cross the river to | Brookiyn trom the Soutn ferry io a small boat. Ti had not proceeded more thun 100 yards from the shore before their frail craft was upset by the ice. They managed to keep her trom sinking, aud clung to the buttom o1 the boat until their cries for assistance attracted tne attention o: the captain of the tugboat Bird, who, aiter some aifficulty, rescued them. They were taken toa saloon near the ferry, wiere they were properly cared Jor, both being in a very exhausted condi- tron. THE QUESTION OF CHARITY. New York, Feb. 9, 1875.

There were not 80 many per- sons presentin the Aldermanic Chamber yester- day ag during previous meetings of the commit- tee yet the assemblage bad the same apparent character. There was present @ certain ‘fine ould Irish gintleman,” who has been conspicuous | atevery rapid trangit meeting held withio ten years. He is a mild old man, whose lite would | probably be without incident were it not that he | has a scheme for a rapid-moving railway, which | he urges upon the attention of everybody.

He sald that if the road were bulit by a private corporation the interests of labor would be derided, while if the city bunt the road lavor would be treated roperiy, He contrasted the treatment of jaborers under the ci government, with toat of those in the empioy of private corporations, and appealed t» the committee to report in the inter ests 01 the laboring men. whicn, he said, are iden- tical with the interests of the city in this Work. He declared that while a rapid transit railway would bo the source of an immense income to the city, the municipal corporation could puild it fai cheaper th. a private boay. He appealed to the committce to memorialize the Legisiature to authurize the city to constract the rapid transit Tullway, He asked the committee 1! they knew the argument which is used at all Meetings, ex cept their own, against permitting the city to build a ratiway, It is, said Mr. To.nlinson, con- tained in the statement that the work would be marked by corruption 1 city officials superin- tended It THE CONSTITUTION MAY BE “DODGED.” Mr. Hand arose and said bis Pepin 1n regara to the proper party to cunstruct the needed rapid transit railway is equidistaut between the pusi- tions of Messra. Crary and ‘Yomlinson. He iavored the construction of tae road by the city, but felt certain thas the Constitutional amendments loroid it. He thougnt, however, that the consiitution might be “dodygea,” and he proposed as an aid in the process of “dodging” to have a general law passed providing that private companics might Construct railways i cities under the super- intendence of city officials, and that, if the private companies should fail, thelr works should be com- pleted by the city government. Mr, Joba B, Haskin made a speech in favor of a railway being doustructed vy the city, and ap- pealiog to the committee to report in favor of thas project. ‘There was after this 9 renewal of the contro- versy which began on Saturday last between Mr. Lawson N. Fuller and Mr. 8 L. Macomber. ‘The speecnes and repartees were very amusing, but had very little to do with the suoject of rapid transit. It is suMfctent to say that Mr. Fuller had the better sive of the contest, and overcame nis opponent, who, fiowever, seemed never to be crushed by statements, and always desired to be conironted with unattainable figures. Mr. Paterson and Mr. L. Hatin also addressed the committee, the former in favor of the cty buliding (he proposed railway, and the latter in 1avor Ol @ private corporation, working under the supervision Of the city authorities, Mr. Paterson also deciared that the city railroad companies had made a pool of $1,000,000 to use to deleat the project of rapid transit.
